RECOMMENDATION

It is recommended that the Agency consider and approve the proposed Amendment No. 1 to the 2003/2004 Overall Work Program (OWP).

SUMMARY

The 2003/2004 OWP needs to be amended in order to complete the cities of Shasta Lake and Redding, and Redding Area Bus Authority (RABA) 2002/2003 products.

DISCUSSION

The City of Shasta Lake had a budget of $22,685 in the 2002/2003 OWP for aerial surveys. Four aerial survey panels were expected to be completed by June 30, 2003, and have not yet been received. The $9,000 for the completion of these panels, and the phase 2, $19,450 budgeted in 2003/2004, will complete this aerial survey project.

The City of Redding aerial survey project was not completed in the 2002/2003 timeframe. The project, which has not been initiated, was budgeted for $76,480 in the prior period. The aerial photography project is scheduled for flight in March/April of 2004, allowing for completion and delivery within the fiscal year 2003/2004.

The Redding Area Bus Authority had two projects that are in progress but not complete at the end of 2002/2003. The RABA mapping website project is 80% complete. RABA requested an amendment to complete its mapping website for the sum of $9,000. The mapping requires scheduling a consultant to install, configure, and implement the mapping software. RABA’s development of the Intermodal Passenger Transfer Facility Phase II is 30 percent complete. Completion is expected in November/December 2003. An amendment of $44,278 is requested to complete the analysis.

In the fiscal year 2002/2003, RABA expended a total of $10,552 for the Intermodal Phase II project. The remaining elements of this project are the conceptual floor plan, cost estimate, and elevations.

It is requested that the Agency amend the 2003/2004 OWP to include $53,278 for RABA, $76,480 for City of Redding, and $9,000 for the City of Shasta Lake to complete their projects. These additions are carryover from the prior year. There is no net cost increase.

ALTERNATIVES

The Agency could choose not to amend the 2003/2004 OWP. This is not recommended since funding is available to complete these projects.

OTHER AGENCY INVOLVEMENT

This item was discussed at the October 7, 2003 Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) meeting.

FINANCING

The 2003/2004 OWP will require additional revenue of $75,675 Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), $47,167 of Federal Transit Administration (FTA), and $15,916 of in-kind match. These resources are available from the current surplus of prior year funding.
